Day 6: Playing traditional Games

Day 6: Playing traditional Games

This game was a horse race. It is played with sheep bones from the ankles. Every bone has four different sides representing camel, horse, goat and sheep. Every round you threw 4 bones and you could move as many fields forward as the number of horses you threw. If you threw one of each kind you could move 4 fields. Evelyn clearly won the game, followed by Jargalsaihan. I secured the 4th place (after an unbelievably slow start) after a heated competition between me, Kris and Sofia.
